This is the first report regarding very detailed structural studies of W lamellae from the JET-ILW divertor. A special feature of the W lamellae installed in JET is the intrinsic network of micro-cracks detected on surfaces of the as-manufactured material. Analyses of different W lamellae samples on the plasma facing surface reveal two types of surface structures caused by plasma impact: areas with strong erosion and regions of mild plasma interaction. In regions of strong erosion, a thin modified layer (thickness of ~20 nm) with a high density of defects including bubble-like structures has been formed. In addition, features indicating melting along edges of micro-cracks with the micro-scale plastic deformation have been identified., 17th International Conference on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications}, title = {Surface morphology of the bulk tungsten divertor tiles  from JET ITER‐like wall}, year = {2019} }
